Ligier Order and Production Numbers Booming

With Ligier LMP3 order and (for the most part delivery) numbers from Onroak Automotive now well over 50 with production now in a summer break attention is very much switching to the new for 2017 LMP2 Ligier JS217. DSC understands that up to eight orders are currently confirmed for the new car, principally to teams for the WEC and ELMS with Panis Barthez already having confirmed their plans for a new car.

Asian Le Mans Series

There seems set to be further good news to come from the Asian Le Mans Series with news emerging of further likely LMP3 entries and a potential class entry well into double figures, a team owner telling DSC that the Series are talking of 12-14 cars in the class, huge progress from the three car maximum entry last year.
